Multiple observations can be placed in a single chart by displaying multiple polygons.įor example, consider HR wanting to comparing the employee satisfaction score for different departments like sales, marketing, and finance against various metrics such as work/life balance, diversity, inclusiveness, growth opportunities, and wages. The data from a single observation is plotted along each axis and connected to form a polygon. The center of the chart represents the minimum value, and the edges represent the maximum value on the axis. They do this by providing an axis for each variable, and these axes are arranged radially around a central point and spaced equally. They are used to plot one or more groups of values over multiple common variables. Radar charts (also known as spider charts, polar charts, web charts, or star plots) are a way to visualize multivariate data similar to a parallel coordinates chart.


In this post, we explore radar charts, its use cases, and how to configure one. With radar charts, you can compare two or more items across multiple variables in QuickSight. We are excited to add another new visual to QuickSight: radar charts. At AWS re:Invent 2022, we announced the general availability of two new Amazon QuickSight visuals: small multiples and text boxes.
